If you like the yorkie breed itself I would go for a larger yorkie.. they need homes also..are not as fragile as a small one. Especially growing up around children, if they get a leg broken or something happens to them.. they are not cheap to have vet care..
They can be very protective of you and your baby beyond what you may want.. they are territorial so very easily..
I would never sell a yorkie to a person with a small child if there reason was for their child.. Is it really you who wants the yorkie and you feel you can justify wanting one by saying it is for your baby..I know us mothers tend to not want to pay money out for things we want once we have children but it is ok in our minds if we are buying for our child or children..
Yorkies are said the be the hardest to potty tain.. need 100% consistency for months in order for them to get the idea that they need to go out side to potty.. It can be a hard job to do, especially when you have a young child in training close to the same time..
I have nephews that grew up with small yorkies.. and many people do have children and yorkies.. but it is the adults that need to have the time for training and loving them and all that goes with owning a dog. Yorkies need and expect attention all the time.. when they do not get your undivided attention.. They can and will chew anything..and most of all a good breeder worries about their baby yorkie's when selling them and worry that if they are too much to handle for a young family they could end up in the shelters.. and that is really a huge huge worry for a breeder.
Hope I helped you in making your choice..and please take your time.. the longer you are on YT and the more you learn.. I know I have learned so much just since joining.. it is like a learning in progress all the time..
